oh, hey.
my name is linda marie ferris and i like to think that i invented the ferris wheel.
the very first thing i notice in a person is their smile.
and then their teeth.
and then their eye color.
i think it's because those are my favorite features on myself.
i have genuine smile (or so i hear), pretty close to perfect teeth (for $4000+ i think i can say this without sounding obnoxious), and my eyeballs are green, which is less common than blue or brown.
i hate when people do not smile.
i also don't like when i say "have a nice day!" and smile, and do not get a response.
some people are so miserable?
i love sunny days.
i only like the rain when it lasts an hour or two in the summer.
i don't like the cold.
but i love massachusetts.
and new hampshire.
i like pennsylvania too. i go there every year and it makes me happy.
sometimes, i'd rather be sick than feel tired.
things i hate feeling:
1. nausea
2. migraine
3. tired
in that order
i don't have ocd but i do some things compulsively. (or just in order?)
i think religion is good. any religion. or lack thereof. i think forcing your religion, or lack thereof, on others is wrong. no one is going to change their beliefs for anyone! come onnnnn.
same with morals. those don't usually change.
i like trying most things once.
i'm mediocre at EVERYTHING. seriously! being happy is probably the thing i'm best at.
which isn't bad
i love most things and most people
i like to talk.
i don't understand people who enjoy confrontation. i avoid it at all costs
i am obsessed with the time. i have four clocks in my bedroom alone, not including my cell phone.
i thought i was going to write more but i'm kindof bored with this. maybe next time!
glad livejournal is pretty much phased out and no one suffers through this :)

livejournal. maybe i'll stick with you.

threemonths.

what am i going to do???

having blackberry issues. never good.

hey, anyone know that you may have your old AIM conversations saved on your computer?

try my documents<<aim logger<<yourscreenname<<yourfriendsscreenname it's crazy. gonna read some now! solongfornow

i don't like this "grown up" stage of life that i feel i have worked my way into.

i was reading old livejournal entries today to procrastinate (test tomorrow) and, well, i've had this thing for nearly seven years. a lot changes in seven years!

i read entries from when i was about to graduate, talking about how i didn't change much throughout high school at at the "adult" age of 18, thought college would be the same- not much changing- boy was i wrong!

it's half good half bad. i'm absolutely 10000x smarter than i was when i was 18. not only book-wise but life-wise i suppose. though i'm still fairly naive compared to the normal 22 year old, i've defintelyyyyyyy learned a lot. and while it is good, my naive-ity (that is not a word) was one of my best qualities, i think. simply not understanding, or caring to understand certain things just made life so darn easy. i didn't care what would happen in a month, a year, ten years, i really only cared about today. things brushed off easier and quicker, and the future was so far away.

i didn't care much about school. i cared to go, but that was because that was the way things were supposed to be and what people are supposed to do. i didn't really care about school until 2008, which is when i started to grow up. is it a great feeling having about a 3.5 overall college gpa? hell yes it is. but at what sacrifice? did i really give up my "youth" for a grade? ok, now i'm not saying i'm unyouthful now, but i just care a lot more about my grades and my future. is it bad? yes and no.

my life is somewhat of a routine. that's what being successful is all about. well, for most people anyways. i can't WAIT to break out of the routine on may 22. i'm going to feel a 16 year old chain called education snapped right off. but then what?

that's kind of the reason i haven't started job searching yet. and why i haven't filled out my application for graduate school yet. or looked into graduate schools.

i loveee not knowing. it's like, the excitement of what was four, five, six years ago. i still don't know what i want to be when i grow up, and i grow up in three months.

i'm not sad. this entry sounds like i'm miserable. more observant i'd say. i just thought i was never the person to change, but i have. i mean, i still have my foundation personality. i'm never going to not be the happiest person in the room, i'll always be loud, i'll always be polite to strangers and hold doors. i'll always skip a few steps and giggle when i'm nervous. i'll always like new things. but i've realized that i'm not 100% the same person i was before entering college.

it's kind of weird. life's going by fast. i know i'm only 22, which is still a baby but on the other hand, i'm ALREADY 22. so many people i've graduate with have children, getting married, are married, live on their own, have a real job, etc. i'm just not ready for all that nonsense.

idk. i am going to read this in three years and (a) think i'm insane or (b) think i'm even older. haha. well, i will be. BUT idk. it's my last semester. i need to get back to studying so i can get 4.0's and get a sweeeet medal when i graduate. hahaha. oh boy. sometimes i think i really am the weirdest person on the earth.

healthyness begins now. obv it couldn't start at midnight due to large alcohol consumption. bought a calorie counter book and am determined to be healthy and gain muscle mass! woo. happy 2010. i have a feeling it's going to be more than great to me.

i only have one new years resolution this year, which is to be healthy. of course i'll have the occasional red bull, chocolate, and cheesecake, but where i'm really lacking is in the snack department. i eat healthy breakfasts, lunches, and dinners for the most part, but the snacking in between is what does it.
i'm going to also get to the gym much more, and i'm going to start up the fitness classes again in the spring semester!
and, no i'm not doing this because i think i'm fat, or even unhealthy. i just think it's important to start now before my metabolism plunges and i wake up one morning 500 pounds.
my goal is to be 135 by this time next year. yes, that is a weight gain but because i want to gain muscle (but not a lot, obv). it only makes sense that i will gain weight if i work out more.
i don't know why i am explaining myself on livejournal, as this is pretty much obsolete now, hah, but oh well. when i go back and read it it will make sense to me.
PS: i'm wearing a snuggie.
thats all.

there's no way that i am not applying/attending grad school in the fall.
i am SO BORED after finishing all my assignments for the semester. that was friday.. not even a week ago. if i don't work at least 35hrs a week every week during winter break i don't know what i'll do. i can't not be busy. i feel useless.
sure, i have more time to go to the gym now but that only takes up an hour or two a day.
oh boredum.

oh, hey. long time no post.
i just finished three semester projects and i feel lovely.
next semester will be a breeze.
only two business courses, a basic computer science course, and journalism. oh, and getting six credits for working at best buy! sweet.
may 22, 2010.
grad school?
full time job?
big girl status?
idk we'll see. it's been a long journey, school-wise. i've been nonstop since i've started at fitchburg state in fall 08, my longest break has been three weeks. winter break will be amazing and this summer break will be even more amazing.

school consumes me. i really hope i get a big girl job shortly after graduating. august maybe? i still would like a decent last summer :) having a big girl job will be a lot easier than working 30hrs a work and going to school full time, dontchyathink? 40hrs is cake.

oh, one of my semester projects was to create a marketing plan for a domestic business to go international. i did a really really really great job on it and i'm pumped. it makes me feel like school HAS taught me something and i will be ready for the real world business.


in other news, umm.. well there isn't really much else. for the past month the majority of my spare time (minus friday and saturday nights) has been all about school. sad, huh? oh well. friday is soon. this is the worst livejournal update ever. sry. no one reads it anyways?

oh, hey. it's been awhile.
nothing is new. thanksgiving is shortly which means black friday is soon which means 4:30am-2pm work shift. with crazies. i feel like there is nothing in that ad worth waiting hours in the cold dark for. but who knows!
this semester is crazzzy homework/test/project-wise. i don't know if i'll make deans list which bums me out, but i guess we will see!
oh, and i got my boyfriend the sickest christmas present ever. i'm pumped.
but yeah, livejournal is kindof boring. i'll update you next month i suppose

i never use this anymore.


my eyeball is itchy, and that's about all.

oh, and i'm applying to grad school. prb silly considering i have no free time now- in undergrad, but w/e it's beneficial and something to do. i'll get bored only working 40hrs/week and no school.

learn, learn, learn. it's what i want to do forever.

i find it funny that people that break the law get access to a vaccine before the general public?
i believe in vaccines. i know a lot of people don't, but i do and i like to get vaccined as soon as possible. while the majority of h1n1 is mild, the majority of cases that are fatal are people MY AGE who are HEALTHY. so, like me. and students are more apt to get the disease and spread it quicker than prison inmates. and, not to sound ridiculous but aren't students a better part of society than prisoners? either way, i think it's ridiculous that prisoners are being protected against an illness before law-abiding citizens. i think i will contribute more to society than bubba in cell block d who likes to kill people. but hey, that's just me.
